Support NeoGAF

[Dahbomb]

My only real concern with the game is that it takes like 3 seconds to load a menu. Could be my PC but this certainly breaks the flow of the game especially since you have to access a menu so many times.

Also I did not get the jaggy Death in the menus.

 

[Superblatt]

360 or PS3? PC isn't an option for me.

Whichever you prefer the controller for.

Anyone know how to access the Crucible?

Spoiler

you will get an invitation after you complete the first big dungeon. Go to one of the serpent tomes to get the invitation

 

[bigdaddygamebot]

Enjoying this so much.

It's interesting how this gave me the loot game I wanted rather than Diablo III.

It doesn't take anytime for me to load the menu and I use the PC version. So I think it might be you.

 

[Daydream Sequence]

I hate how the loot you can auto-equip doesn't tell you the negatives you'll incur by doing so. Boooooo to that.

 

[rybrad]

I never saw the dialog option.
Both my games are the same region

Did you go through all of the dialog options? I remember it being something that didn't sound like I was going to get gear at all and then she mentioned War and gave it to me. I would just try clicking through all of them again.

Oh well I saw someone else talking about it and figured might be more to it.

 

[Khezu]

Neat got a possessed weapon already, and its arm blades, which I was going to use anyway.

 

[Uno Venova]

I found it funny how much shit you had to go through to get to the start of the game, some special pass for game guides and videos, a THQ account screen, and an online pass screen, jesus.

Anyway I'm not to far in but liking it, the combat is fun, I'm glad I went with apocalyptic, I'm barely getting touched.

 

[Dahbomb]

Anyone know the tier of the gear color?

I sold a green item because it had crap items only to remember that green items are usually set items. I hope I didn't bone myself.

[benjobong]

Anyone know how well it plays on 360 without the optional install? I'd rather get it for 360 than ps3 but won't be able to install it due to tiny hard drive...

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

I wonder whats going on with the console versions? My buddy has the PS3 version and got a similar message. I'm still having the issue of not being able to even boot up into the main menu if I'm connected to LIVE. Their support phone number just rings busy, so I imagine there is something amiss.

I have a feeling it has something to do with the way the game connects with your THQ account and verifies your dlc or something. I guess it timed out trying to connect to THQ and just assumed I didn't have the dlc anymore instead of looking at my HDD.

Also: is it just me, or is it full retard that you can't use the d-pad in any of the menus?

Orange is Legendary tier?

 

[black_vegeta]

Ok GAF...need your help FAST. I'm at Target and am torn in between Darksiders 2 (360 or PS3) or Mass Effect 3. Help! Thoughts?? Need to move quick here.

Asking that question in a DS2 OT lol, people

I think even in a neutral thread the answers would be the same.

 

[Gouty]

Playing on hard and I'm getting fucking destroyed. I wish I could cancel out of any attack instantly into an evade.

Not sure if I'm not getting the drops I need but I can't seem to kill shit, enemies are just hanging around for too long.

 

[DieH@rd]

Neat got a possessed weapon already, and its arm blades, which I was going to use anyway.

In Act 1 I got 4 possessed weapons.

 

[Raxum]

White<Green<Blue<Purple<Orange

There's Orange and Gold as well, orange being possessed and Gold being unique or special that can't be upgraded like possessed, but have special abilities that do some awesome things.

 

[Toonami 99]

Orange is Legendary tier?

orange is for possessed weapons. rare (purple)is the highest for gear. orange only appears for weapons.

 

[Duffyside]

Glad you guys are enjoying the game. That's really awesome. ... Yup...

 

[RPGCrazied]

If you play Normal first time, will you see any orange at all? I'm guessing those only drop on major bosses or maybe even just the final boss.

Yes, I am 10 hrs in and have found 3 weapons. 2 I am using.

You can but it has to be on the particular frames of an attack. You can't just throw out attacks with impunity it has to be more deliberate than that.

Try a heavy weapon out, farm in the open areas and try to buy better gear from the shop. Kill everything that moves, explore more areas and smash all objects.

 

[KevinCow]

I have a few questions:

1) What is Arcane?

2) What is Thorn?

3) What are these green doodads I keep collecting? They're like floating green diamonds with a skull in them. They always appear next to my money on my HUD when I'm in shops. I thought they were things I could sell like in the first game, but I can't figure out how.

 

[Daydream Sequence]

The facebook weapon is a possessed hammer that you get in the Serpent mail. FYI.

 

[Peterthumpa]

Great, now the game refuses to launch for me. Just a maximized blank screen with the executable name as a title and "not responding" following.

Already tried to check the cache integrity, restarting the PC, setting a fixed resolution in the game launch options inside Steam, removed my saves, started Steam in offline mode, started the game exe with admin rights... nothing.

Gonna try redownloading the whole thing again.

Holiday breaking for me.

 

[Syriel]

Got multiple possessed (orange) scythes as well as two different possessed secondary weapons on first playthru.

Possessed weapons can be extremely powerful if you feed them correctly, however they are self limiting by the fact that they can only be upgraded five "levels" of their own. After that, their stats are fixed just like any other weapon.

That said, the Level 15 posessed scythes I found, I kept from char lvl 15 - clvl 21 which is when I finished my first run thru normal.

Got my first possessed weapons in one of the main quest dungeons in the Forge Lands pretty early one. It was loot from a regular chest.

 

[Raxum]

I've found a fair few possessed weapons on Normal, actually thinking of upping my difficulty though, or maybe playing apocalyptic on NG+. Anyway, back on topic, I've gotten about 6-7 possessed weapons so far and I'm level 16.

1. Basic ability stat that determines how powerful your magicks are.

2. Modifier that determines how much damage enemies will receive when they hit you.

3. They are bargaining chips for some Vulgrim items [chests with random magic items].

 

[ironcreed]

Glad you guys are enjoying the game. That's really awesome. ... Yup...

We can always start a Digital River victim support group.

But at least most of us are supposed to get the game tomorrow as a free copy, and then the original we ordered as well thereafter. I guess we will see.

 

[Khezu]

How many possessed weapons have you guys got so far? Jeff in his review said he got like 3 through out the whole game, and I have been playing like 3 hours so far and all ready got 3.

6.

Three scythes, hammer, claws, and... buckler.

Not even out of the first map yet.

Thanks.

How about Strength? I thought it would figure into my attack power, but that doesn't seem to go up when I equip something with a good Strength stat.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

3rd world arrived, no sidequests done yet and 11 hours played.

love this game.

 

[Nirran]

So I'm stumped here.

Spoiler

I'm in the Scar and I got to the part where you fight the two waves of contructs and the two giants. I couldn't do it at level 11 so I left. I've come back since gaining five levels and the guy you ride over the lava with is still over by the gate. What can I do to get over there since there is lava blocking the way? Pretty much screwed out of doing this quest?

I just made it to the

Higher difficulty options have better loot?

No one told me that. :|

Whoa, is that free copy confirmed? Cuz that's almost worth it, even though I don't like to resell games...

 

[Megasoum]

So guys, what's up with the Argul's Tomb code for the GMG orders? I know the content is not available right now but the game keeps telling me to go to http://community.darksiders.com/tomb To redeam my "Special edition" code found in my box (sic) and that they will send me the proper DLC token as soon as it's available... But on the GMG site the only code availalable is the one for the game proper and it doesn't work on that THQ page.

 

[Necrovex]

This is a little sad, but the PC version of Darksiders 2 must have more video options than what is actually present in the video section of the menu. Anyway I can alter the appearance, or does the game only have V-sync and a resolution option?

 

[MadraptorMan]

That's all it has, and V-sync doesn't even work. :x

 

[Necrovex]

That's all it has, and V-sync doesn't even work. :x

I don't even know how such a thing could even happen. This is a bloody downer.

 

[NullPointer]

That's all it has, and V-sync doesn't even work. :x

It does... eventually. Took my third try to stick.

Am I an idiot? How am I supposed to use my specials with LB when I'm holding LT to lock on an enemy?

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Did I hear the fellow right when he said there's no going back after going to the

Spoiler

Foundry?

Can't fast travel out?

Am I an idiot? How am I supposed to use my specials with LB when I'm holding LT to lock on an enemy?

Middle finger on trigger, pointer on LB?

Or at least on PS3, I can hit L1 with the middle part of my pointer finger while the tip is holding down L2.

 

[MrDaravon]

Am I an idiot? How am I supposed to use my specials with LB when I'm holding LT to lock on an enemy?

Yeah, I'm incapable of using my middle fingers to hit the triggers, which means I've just been completely ignoring the LB attacks, which kind of sucks.

 

[Necrovex]

Wait a minute, where's the gamepad support? Don't tell me that isn't included in the PC version either. I can't find it in the option, and it isn't automatically recognize a plugged-in gamepad.
